Universities are Left-wing seminaries … [Darleen Click]

Just as the agenda of traditional Christian and Jewish seminaries is to produce religious Christians and religious Jews, the agenda of Western universities is to produce (left-wing) secularists. The difference is that Christian and Jewish seminaries are honest about their agenda, while the universities still claim they have neither secularist nor political agenda. ~~ Dennis Prager

Ever the rising tuitions, ever the increasing of useless degrees, from anti-Constitutional speech codes and violation of basic due process, anyone paying attention is well aware of the Left’s dominance in academia and the mendacious mockery it has made of “liberal education.”

In a campaign reminiscent of the Soviet show-trials of the late 1930’s, where the “enemies of the People” publicly confessed their “crimes” against the Soviet, The University of Minnesota – Duluth (UMD) is actually sponsoring a campaign, declaring “whites” the enemy of the people and showing these enemies confessing their crimes of “white privilege”

The self-titled Un-Fair Campaign, is sponsored and supported by the University of Minnesota – Duluth, along with several liberal organizations including the NAACP, YWCA, and The League of Woman Voters.

“You give me better jobs, better pay, better treatment, and a better chance – all because of the color of my skin,” reads one poster that features a close shot of a Caucasian male.

The Un-Fair campaign also held a series of lectures and events on campus last semester. One included a presentation by Tim Wise, author of “Dear White America”. In his book, Wise confesses a “longstanding fantasy” where he turns to a man with a “God Bless the USA” button and asks him, “why can’t you just get over it?”

These lectures were publicly endorsed by university Chancellor Lendley Black. Black sent a message to the campus community in April describing his effort to “create an inclusive campus climate for all” through providing “support and… leadership to the Un-Fair Campaign.”

Ugh, I read about that on The Blaze earlier today. Just sickening. No one should *ever* have to apologize for who they are or where they’re from. And if I’m a beneficiary of “white privilege”, I’ll just be damned if I can see it. As for “anti-racist” bozos like Tim Wise (“anti-racism” really being code for “anti-middle class and working class white”, elitist whites like Wise being exempt), there is only one appropriate response, consisting of two words. The second word is “you”. I’ll leave you all to figure out what the first one is.

Like so many of these problems, the solution is obvious and has already delivered to us from Hollywood.

I speak, of course, of 1983’s Trading Places. I propose that each of the crackers in this film have their privilege stripped from them unexpectedly, and that a black man or woman with a demonstrable history of suffering from lack of privilege be placed in their shoes.

I’ll bet Jeff the tidy sum of $1.00 that the outcomes on both ends of the swap would be hilarious.

What I don’t get is how you can hear the man speak English and not conclude that he is fucking with you.

I mean, if I – being visibly bereft of melanin – went around talking with the affected Frito Bandito accent from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre all day, I would expect that anything that I said would not be taken seriously, and taken as an intended offense in any event.

When I was taking Preparing Future Faculty everyone in the class had to read aloud two lines like this from a paper they handed out. The lines I was expected to read were fairly innocuous, but many of the ones people around me read were not. If I had gotten lines like theirs there would have been an incident.

As you might imagine with crap like that going on, there were incidents at other times where I did speak up, though no other students did. However, I wish I had called them out right then on that particular piece of crap when it happened.

Taking into account the old saying “To prevent the abuse of power, eliminate the power”, I argue the solution isn’t to fix the American university system, but to bypass it.

Let’s face it – the only reason people get university degrees is as a requirement for jobs. How do we go about replacing the university with trade schools, apprenticeship programs and the use of direct aptitude testing as part of the hiring process?

I liked John Scalzi okay with Old Man’s War, Ghost Battalion, and Last Colony. Then I read about a fourth of “Your hatemail will be graded” which is just him ranting about stuff and responding to e-mails and stuff he saw on the internet. Then I read Zoe’s Tale. Then I realized he’s not so bright and prone to building with cliches and bad comic routines what other people would build with actual experience. Ah well.

BTW most of the poor in the US are actually white men and women. Statistics says they are straight. Let’s hear it for the easy life!

Because if white guy one and two had it easy then white guys 3-10 also had it easy. That’s how stuff works right? Or do people stop being white (and thus having it easy) when they are toothless, or fat, or weirdos, or have anger management problems, or aspergers, etc. ?

a·nal·o·gy [uh-nal-uh-jee] noun, plural a·nal·o·gies. 1. a similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based: the analogy between the heart and a pump. 2. similarity or comparability: I see no analogy between your problem and mine.

I am not terribly interested in the fact that these sociopaths got their little consciousness raising blimp off the ground, but what I would be very interested to see is the backstory. In legalese, I want to see discovery: E-mails, funding sources, prime movers et al.

Stopping this is not enough. These people and the networks they come from need an astounding amount of sunlight.

I’m pretty sure you should be putting up billboards demanding reparations for the days of NINA on shopfronts. Meanwhile, I’ll be reminding my soggy friends in Duluth about a little episode that happened on July 2nd, 1863: 262 volunteers. Killed or wounded: 215. Standing on the line: 47. Routed, deserted, or missing: 0.

Know what you’re saying Squid. I don’t have an exact tally, but my (shamefully admitted ) white ancestors fought on the other side. I do know that my great great great (whatevs) was an indentured servant and in NO way Cherokee.

Do I get reperations for being ancestry to slaves? or does my Portuguese side cancel that out? I’m so confused…

“I am ok with the idea that things are, in general, easier for white people. For white men, even.”

It is true (as Scalzi himself might say in the throws of his rather rote spirit of mothering supposedly iconoclastic witticisms), for certain values of “white people/white men”.

For other values, most of them in fact, it is naive horse shit used to prop up the mythology of collective racial guilt as part of a pose of enlightenment. In short Scalzi buys into this crap because he thinks it makes him seem shinier.

Personally I do not believe in much if any biological validity of “races”. I suppose it might mean something for epidemiology. As poor Mr. Zimmerman the “white hispanic” exemplifies, hybridization is too easy and too common for race to really mean anything.

Race is mostly cosmetic, subject to interpretation, and only good for describing the general appearance of a corpse to a 911 operator or recognizing by general appearance someone you’ve never seen before so you can go get them at the airport and filter out those other passengers whose appearance does not match.

The culture elements followed and accepted by an individual seems to be far more important than ancestry or their appearance.

I can knock on the door of some run down duplexes on the east side of Austin, and ask the “white people” renting them how their copious social advantages stemming from their skin color and “race” have made their lives easier. I might see some middle fingers dancing about though.

That’s more or less what in general means. However: just try and explain to those poor saps (some of whom you have mentioned) that they really have had a better starting-off place than e.g. Barack Hussein Obama.

You can’t treat individuals as if they are groups. Even if your grandmother really is just an average white person.

You should see where I live. Framingham Mass. Most of the “whites” that are in poverty are far worse off than the Hispanics and especially the blacks. ( I refuse to use African American, due to a certain bullshit factor )

I once gave my business ( Mechanic shop w/ a small body shop attchd) over to my brother, and volunteered at Sally’s here. I know it’s anecdote, not data, but this is what I saw.

Hispanics here are off the chart wealth in comparison to the blacks, but at least they WORK!!!…not that I’d hire an illegal, but at times I’ve been tempted.

Anyway, I find that the “whites” here are really the impoverished class. Hope this made some sense.

Slart? In my not so considered opinion? RACE such as it it is, does not exist. We are an almagam of everything that came before us.

HOWEVER…..If a Black/not black. Arab/ not Arab White/ not white can self identify as black? Fuck….I have long hair, so I’m gonna self idntify as female…..well, not really, because I can’t claim to be Cherokee ( No high cheekbones)

I think it hard to argue race doesn’t exist in fact. Elevating it’s importance is a matter of convenience.

Actually, it’s not difficult to argue at all. That genetic differences exist between people — and groups of people — isn’t a matter of dispute. But arbitrary race categorizations are not only easily debunked, but they should be.

Do a site search for my debate with Steve Sailer on these points. Way long time again — 2002-2004ish.

Recall the case I’ve mentioned here before, the Phipps case I think, where the law declared a woman black based on her mother’s misapprehension of her race. The woman didn’t look black and didn’t identify as black.

Actually, it’s not difficult to argue at all. That genetic differences exist between people — and groups of people — isn’t a matter of dispute. But arbitrary race categorizations are not only easily debunked, but they should be.

Yes, I was speaking to genetic differences. And how politicians find it convenient to address arbitrary race categorizations for fun and profit.

The (stereo)typical white person is a lower-upper to upper-middle class professional.

However, on an even deeper though unconscious level, what this quintessentially white-liberal, anti-white campaign is saying is that whites really are superior—inherently superior—to other races, particularly to blacks, in intelligence, in looks, in the fineness of their vibrations, in every way; and since any inequality is unfair, it is unfair to be white. Therefore whites must in perpetuity impose unearned withering moral censure and material disadvantages on themselves, including allowing themselves to be terrorized, disfigured, and murdered by blacks, while bestowing unearned effusive moral approval and material advantages on nonwhites, particularly blacks, in an endless but never successful effort to cancel out the hideous unfairness of being white.
